InEnTec Progress
• InEnTec Chemical• Executed $60 million contract with Dow Corning
Corp. - construction initiated on $25 million facility located at Dow Corning facility in Midland, Michigan
• InEnTec Energy Solutions• Recently executed contract worth $750 million over
10 years for 50 PEMTM plants• InEnTec is adding new technical staff with significant
growth anticipated over next few years in Richland
InEnTec / PNNL Established HCTF
• InEnTec Research Activities– Waste and biomass gasification– Standard cleaning of synthesis gas– Ultra-deep cleaning of synthesis gas– Gas to liquids conversion (alcohol and FT)
• Battelle– Coal gasification– In-situ Gasification Diagnostics– Gas-to-liquids catalyst development– High heat transfer catalytic reactor development
InEnTec/Battelle partnershipestablished in 2006 to conductjoint research of gasificationand gas-to-liquids technologies.

InEnTec – Diversified Options
• InEnTec Energy Solutions energy conversion options• Conversion of waste into clean transportation
fuels (i.e. ethanol, methanol, DME, etc.)• Conversion of waste into hydrogen for large
hydrogen consumers (i.e. refining industry)• Conversion of waste into clean syngas fuel• High efficiency electrical production• Efficient energy storage at power plants• Mixed fuels facilities (i.e. coal, biomass, MSW)• Distributed conversion of stranded electrical
production (i.e. wind energy into liquid fuel)

New Waste-to-Fuels Facility in Richland, WA
• InEnTec is deploying PEMTM system at City of Richland landfill capable of processing 25 tons of waste per day
• New facility has capability to process all waste to be generated in TCRD and produce over 1 million gallons of liquid fuel
• Facility is modular and could be located in TCRD or remain at City landfill
